<p>Adieu, 2014!</p>
<p><span id="more-495982"></span></p>
<p>1. <strong>Celebrity <a title="Celebrity Nudes: At Least We’re Finally Blaming the Hackers, Not Their Victims" href="http://flavorwire.com/475258/celebrity-nudes-at-least-were-finally-blaming-the-hackers-not-their-victims" target="_blank">nude photo leaks</a>.</strong> It was a bummer when actresses were targeted by hackers who released their nude photos. And when everyone slut-shamed them as a result. Sidenote: <a title="Yes, Those Pictures of Renée Zellweger Are Disturbing. But Why?" href="http://flavorwire.com/483856/yes-those-pictures-of-renee-zellweger-are-disturbing-but-why">same went for celebrity plastic surgery gawking.</a></p>
<p>2. <strong>Donald <a href="http://blogs.forward.com/sisterhood-blog/197453/in-donald-sterling-drama-its-all-about-power/" target="_blank">Sterling-gate</a>. </strong>One of many examples of 2014 scandals that made us aware of how awfully racist people in power were, but this one was just the most epically depressing on a human level.</p>
<p>3. <strong><em>The Newsroom</em>&#8216;s Campus Rape Plotline</strong> and Aaron&#8217;s Sorkin&#8217;s response. <a title="Aaron Sorkin’s Response to Criticisms of That ‘Newsroom’ Episode Perfectly Illustrates What’s Wrong With That ‘Newsroom’ Episode" href="http://flavorwire.com/492986/aaron-sorkins-response-to-criticisms-of-that-newsroom-episode-perfectly-illustrates-whats-wrong-with-that-newsroom-episode" target="_blank">Just no, Aaron Sorkin</a>.</p>
<p>4. <strong><em>The Interview</em> hacking brouhaha.</strong> Censorship is terrible and free speech is important, but <a title="See ‘The Interview,’ Or Don’t — Neither Option Makes You a Hero" href="http://flavorwire.com/495967/see-the-interview-or-dont-neither-option-makes-you-a-hero" target="_blank">why did we have to this discussion about a sub-par Rogen-Franco joint?</a></p>
<p>5.<strong> Igloo Australia&#8217;s Twitter racism. </strong>While pop star feuds, beefs, and rivalries are usually enjoyable and beneficial for everyone involved (I kid), <a title="Azealia Banks Is Right About Iggy Azalea and, More Importantly, Race in America" href="http://flavorwire.com/495045/azealia-banks-is-right-about-iggy-azalea-and-more-importantly-race-in-america" target="_blank">Iggy Azalea&#8217;s ignorance on matters of race only reinforced her clueless pop persona.</a></p>
<p>6. <strong>Camille Cosby&#8217;s <a title="Camille Cosby Tries to Play the “False Accusation” Card" href="http://flavorwire.com/newswire/camille-cosby-tries-to-play-the-false-accusation-card" target="_blank">statement</a> and Woody Allen&#8217;s <a title="Woody Allen’s Rambling Response Illuminates Nothing, Inspires Only Exhaustion" href="http://flavorwire.com/437923/woody-allens-rambling-response-illuminates-nothing-inspires-only-exhaustion" target="_blank">letter to the <em>New York Times</em></a><em>.</em></strong> Alleged sexual predators and their wives: given a platform for victim-blaming since the beginning of modern media.</p>
<p>7.<strong> &#8220;Rude.</strong>&#8221; You are genuinely terrible, &#8220;Rude,&#8221; we declared this year. Also, you are still stuck in our heads and will inevitably be heard on New Year&#8217;s Eve.</p>
<p>8. <strong>Literary genre wars that weren&#8217;t.</strong> Did we really have to spend another year <a title="Are You an Adult Who Reads YA Novels? Congratulations, You Saved Publishing in 2014" href="http://flavorwire.com/494377/are-you-an-adult-who-reads-ya-novels-congratulations-you-saved-publishing-in-2014" target="_blank">scolding each other for our reading choices</a>? Even scolding the <a title="Please, Let’s Not Extend the Literary Genre Wars to Kids’ Books" href="http://flavorwire.com/484566/please-lets-not-extend-the-literary-genre-wars-to-kids-books" target="_blank">littlest readers</a>?</p>
<p>9. <strong><a title="Lena Dunham’s Triggering Art Doesn’t Make Her an Abuser, No Matter What Some Transphobic Bigot Insists" href="http://flavorwire.com/486328/lena-dunhams-triggering-art-doesnt-make-her-an-abuser-no-matter-what-some-transphobic-bigot-insists" target="_blank">Accusing Lena Dunham of a crime</a> for her writing about of her sister on the left and right and <a title="Lena Dunham’s BuzzFeed Op-Ed Illuminates the Difficulties of Telling Rape Stories" href="http://flavorwire.com/493174/lena-dunhams-buzzfeed-op-ed-illuminates-the-difficulties-of-telling-rape-stories" target="_blank">trying to discredit her own sexual assault story</a> on the right.</strong> Rape culture is serious, and the freedom some (white) artists have to be messy while other artists are constrained by social prejudice informs a lot of the understandable ire directed at Dunham. But none of those factors, nor anything Dunham has written, indicated she had committed a crime, nor that the assault she wrote about herself hadn&#8217;t taken place — and watching feminists and right-wingers join in on this one broke our hearts a little bit.</p>
<p>10. <strong><a title="10 Other Stupid Non-Fashion Trends Inspired by Normcore" href="http://flavorwire.com/442553/10-other-stupid-non-fashion-trends-inspired-by-normcore" target="_blank">Normcore</a>, <a title="Vox Explains the “New” Insult “Basic” — For Those Who Have Consumed Zero Pop Culture Over the Past Three Years" href="http://flavorwire.com/newswire/vox-explains-the-new-insult-basic-for-those-who-have-consumed-zero-pop-culture-over-the-past-three-years" target="_blank">Basic</a>, and <a title="If Health Goth Is a Joke, a ‘New York Times’ Trend Piece Is Its Punchline" href="http://flavorwire.com/493581/if-health-goth-is-a-joke-a-new-york-times-trend-piece-is-its-punchline" target="_blank">Health Goth</a>.</strong> Stop trying to make fetch happen, bogus trend-pieces.</p>
<p>11. <strong>Ariel Pink.</strong> <a href="http://flavorwire.com/490560/bad-feminist-a-conversation-with-ariel-pink" target="_blank">Was his misogyny a joke? A nasty slice of his real personality? Trolling</a> because he realized he got more attention for being a jerk than for his music? To be real, much of this whole conversation was unnecessary.</p>
<p>12. <strong>This godawful, <a title="The Christmas Version of “Hallelujah” is a Travesty" href="http://flavorwire.com/newswire/the-christmas-version-of-hallelujah-is-a-travesty" target="_blank">treacle-coated cover of Leonard Cohen&#8217;s &#8220;Hallelujah&#8221;.</a></strong></p>
<p>13. <a href="http://www.salon.com/2014/08/22/4_worst_right_wing_reactions_to_michael_browns_killing_and_the_ferguson_protests_partner/" target="_blank"><strong>The disrespectful, racist right wing media circus around Ferguson and the death of Michael Brown</strong>.  </a></p>
<p><strong>Bonus</strong>:  Sarah Palin&#8217;s Christmas Pie-baking instruction and garbled speech <a href="http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/12/underdressed-sarah-palin-shares-tips-for-keeping-christ-in-christmas-which-include-buying-her-book/" target="_blank">special</a> that&#8217;s eerily reminiscent of SNL&#8217;s &#8220;Martha Stewart&#8217;s Topless Christmas.&#8221; Just kidding, <em>we&#8217;re so glad this happened! </em>Never leave us, ex-governor Palin.</p>
